7 Hawaiian Monk Seals Released Back into the Wild

After eight months of rehabilitation at Ke Kai Ola, a Hawaiian monk seal hospital, seven young seals are strong enough to return to their ocean home.

Its been just a week since the release of the first of the seven Hawaiian monk seals -- Kilo -- was released back into the wild, and she's already been spotted twice by researchers on nearby beaches. Both times she was spotted playing in the shallow waters near shore with sea cucumber guts on her face, indicating that she had been exploring the area closely enough to scare the small invertebrates into expelling their insides in defense.
